Breaking Bad Stereotypes by Phoebe Cummins

Breaking Bad Stereotypes is a stop motion film about the real-world impact that the popular AMC show had on its host city, Albuquerque, New Mexico. This film addresses stereotypes about race, wealth, and drugs, and how the television both subverted and reified these stereotypes.
